DOTS AND ROBBERS...I"M BACK!

GMAMA IS BACK!

WHEW! WHAT A 2 WEEK BREAK..OR SHOULD I SAY *BREAK-IN*???

Yep, it was more like a WALK-IN considering our doors were unlocked.

But Geez Louise...WE WERE IN THE BACKYARD!!

My CSI/NCIS crime fighting skills came in handy when I went for the latex gloves before touching anything. After-all I didn't want to disturb the crime scene with my own fingerprints! It didn't matter in the long run because evidently this robbery wasn't the thieves' "first rodeo" if you know what I mean. They wore Gloves!!... Left some industrial glue type substance from construction gloves. They had obviously moved several large items earlier that morning on their little crime spree.

#1 husband and I plus Sidekick Scott were approx. 50 yds. back from the house, close to the barn, drinking some ice water. PaPaw cut brush while Scott and I watched a little mama red bird search for her nest in the cut limbs....20-30 minutes at most...walked back to the house...Papaw goes upstairs to take a shower...I go in to the den to turn on Cartoons for Scott...NO TV!!!!!!

Oh Jane, I am so sorry that your were robbed. It happened to us, decades ago, but that awful feeling in your gut stays for a long time. Now we live in a small town, but my hubby insists on locking the doors,even when we are in the backyard. Perhaps it is best that no body was in the house, at least no body was hurt. Take care.

Yikes, Jane! How's I miss your robbery? Y'all have no end to excitement (and not necessarily the healthy, happy kind) at your place, do you?! I'm coming by this week ... I've got to get this stuff to you!! Hugs! :)

I remember how violated I felt when one day this happened to me, except I wasn't home at the time. You were pretty lucky that no one went into the house and surprised them! There's no telling what might have happened! Who'd ever think, huh?

Oh snap! I have never had my house robbed, but I was mugged once. It is so scary. I hope you are having bad dreams. I am a compulsive "locker" - I lock doors when I am visiting. When I walk in Mama's house, I lock the door behind me - and at other friends' houses too. (Maybe I am a little OCD about it, after being mugged.)

Oh my word... I am sorry to hear you were robbed but thank you for the good giggle. I have to say the guns scare me the most. My Brother was robbed three Easters agonand they took his small gun safe (obviously not boltedndown) and got his two guns. Very scarry that they are now out there in the hands of hoodlums!

Oh MAN! I'm hopin' that they didn't get your computer,too. Bad enough to get T.V. and guns. Did they get any panties? Thanks for the grins, and I am so sorry y'all were robbed. Hope you get your stuff back.

My gosh!! That's so scary!! Thank goodness that no one caught them in the act-- someone may have been really hurt.. I really despise people who think they have a right to take things from hard working people... :-(

Good thing you were out of harms way at the barn. However, your story is written too funny. I tried not to laugh and did pretty good until PaPaw thought they stole your underwear....or maybe they did. Glad you are safe.

Thank you Lord for saving me, blessing me, and making me a home in Heaven with you.
